Letter from the Dean
![Katharine O Strunk illustration headshot](https://publications.gse.upenn.edu/assets/2024/06/upenn-gse-summerspring-24-img1.jpg)
I can hardly believe it’s been a year since I began my tenure as dean of Penn GSE. I am thankful for the warm welcome I received from our incredible community of students and alumni, faculty and staff, partners and supporters. I am also grateful for the time many of you have taken to share your hopes for the School, and for the work we’ve already accomplished together in a short time.
It would be pointless, however, to pretend that this year has been easy at Penn, or at any higher education institution. We have experienced deep unrest and pain among many members of our Penn community, and we have worked here at GSE to ensure that all feel welcome, included, and valued. Through it all, we recognized that the work we do— educating future teachers, counselors, leaders, researchers, and changemakers—is more important than ever.
Penn GSE has a more than 100-year legacy of excellence in producing inspirational educators and vanguard research. And when I think about how we can continue that tradition while tackling the most pressing challenges of our day, I keep coming back to these four key areas for action:
1. Expand our engagement with our local, regional, national, and global communities: We can start local. Philadelphia is more than just our home; it is our partner. While Penn GSE is already facilitating partnerships with hundreds of schools and communities across the city, I want to advance this work via collaborative research initiatives with the school district. Similarly, we already work with and for communities throughout the Commonwealth, but I am eager to grow these collaborations that serve Pennsylvania’s students and educators.

Student Homelessness on the Rise
The Story
Student housing insecurity has acute consequences for school attendance, which itself has ramifications in academic and socioemotional outcomes. The latest NCHE numbers show that roughly 52 percent of students experiencing homelessness were chronically absent (defined as missing one out of every ten days of school), which has been shown to correlate with lower test scores, course grades, eagerness to learn, and social engagement, as well as higher drop-out rates.
Reconnecting with Their Roots
![I dropcap with leaves](https://publications.gse.upenn.edu/assets/2024/06/upenn-spring-summer2024-reconnecting-img-dropcap.png)

“My creative work, I see it as a different type of research,” said Coello. “Poetry, I see as internal research.”
They have published three poetry collections—2019’s self/ser, 2021’s faith/fe, and the latest, HAMPI—excavating different parts of their identity. The first two books presented their poems in both Spanish and English, but in their newest publication, they have also added Quechua, which they began learning only two years ago as part of their exploration of their Indigenous ancestry.
HAMPI was born of an intersecting set of questions about Coello’s health and their family. Researching their Indigeneity gave them answers about both, helping them to understand where they come from and where they are going.

But that’s OK. It means she can identify issues and opportunities that other people more comfortably ensconced in those worlds might overlook. Plus, she likes to rise to a challenge.
“I always say to people, ‘Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do something,’” said Goodwin. “That has been the ethos of my career.”
She started out at NASA, straight out of American University, working as a systems engineer. It was part of her job to integrate systems on the International Space Station (ISS).
“I was able to use the role of technology and data to serve our astronauts better,” she said. “A cornerstone of my work was, ‘What could we do with the data to help the crew breathe and perform their spacewalks more efficiently?’ And then, ‘How could we launch the payload—the high-pressure gas systems—on the shuttle program?’ Technology was an enabler of the mission, and my purpose was using it to discover how we can serve people.”
Though she would later return to NASA as its CIO, in between she worked in the energy and healthcare industries, using her STEM background to undertake pioneering work with data analytics, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. But once she started graduate school, she became fascinated by a new frontier: the neuroscience of learning.
She developed research—which is still ongoing—that maps the neural patterns of the brain to best understand how to deliver the most engrossing models of learning. Now, in her current roles as both affiliated faculty at Columbia University and the founder of two startups, she leverages that work to help educators better serve students.

he time was normally set aside for science class. But, “for the next 30 minutes,” teacher Mia Blitstein, GED’02, told the 18 middle school students at Global Leadership Academy, “this is going to be a newsroom.”
Students at the West Philadelphia charter school scrambled over notes and prepared for interviews for their publication, The Healthy Globe. Instead of a class with their regular teacher, they were going to have what they call “newspaper time.”
Blitstein, who got her master’s in elementary education from Penn GSE, works with Healthy NewsWorks, a nonprofit that that teaches health and media literacy to students as young as first grade.

here is an old Quaker saying: “Let your life speak.” It means that the way you live should be exemplary of your deepest held beliefs. Though most members of the Penn community are Quakers in name but not religion, they let their lives speak in many ways: by living their values, working towards a more just and equitable world, and supporting the students coming up behind them.
Marcus Foster, GED’49, GRD’72, is one such alum whose life has spoken across generations, reverberating well beyond his own too-brief lifetime. The Penn GSE alum and former University Trustee was a dedicated educator, transformative leader, and the first Black superintendent of a major urban school district in the US whose life was tragically cut short by bullets from an extremist’s gun in 1973. [More below.]
In life, his impact could be felt in the improvements he made in some of Philadelphia’s most overlooked, under-resourced—and, not coincidentally, Black—schools, in the lives of the students he changed and the educators he inspired, and in his innovative school fundraising concepts. (He created America’s first education foundation, a model that now exists across 2,500 districts nationwide, according to EdSource.)

Fascinated, he bought it. And so began his dedicated pursuit of Black Americana. Two thousand artifacts later, the Detroit native is curator of the Traveling Black History Museum he founded in 2019 when he left the Detroit-based Marvin L. Winans Academy of Performing Arts, where he was superintendent and lead principal. But his passion for education is never far. Hayward spends his time researching historical pieces and sharing his discoveries with schoolchildren, college students, and others.
“I bring in these artifacts, and for the first time you’re holding a piece of history,” he said—with “proper gloves, of course,” he added. “You’re transported to that place, and then I get to tell a story that’s inviting to hear.”
The collection, spanning the antebellum era to the present, includes shackles that once bound enslaved people; a rare medallion from the National Ex-Slave Mutual Relief, Bounty, and Pension Association; a boxing robe signed by Muhammad Ali; and signed tennis rackets from Serena and Venus Williams. His trove also pays homage to Black motorcycle racers and Hayward’s own enthusiasm for the sport—he has a bevy of antique bikes. “My artifacts,” he said, “really speak to the American experience.”
From English Learners to English Teachers

A Penn GSE initiative provides an opportunity for TESOL students to practice their teaching with language learners across the University and around the world.
hen Chih-Hung “Gordon” Cheng moved to Philadelphia in 2022 so his wife could pursue her graduate studies in organizational dynamics at Penn, he had been learning English for years—in Taiwan, where he grew up, instruction started in seventh grade. But the Mandarin speaker still found himself nervous using his English among native speakers.
“When I first came here, I was truly afraid to step out. I was afraid to pick up the phone, to talk to people in person,” said Cheng. “I would doubt myself when people would ask me, ‘Can you say that again?’ or ‘What did you say?’ It made me think my English was awful.”
But a class he’s been taking since January has given him newfound confidence in his proficiency. That course is part of the Practical English for Daily Living (PEDAL) program at Penn GSE, which offers free English classes to adult language learners of all levels taught by students in GSE’s Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) master’s program.
Protecting Against Burnout
Kandi Wiens’ latest book aims to help readers build resilience to stress and heal their relationship to work.
health scare led Kandi Wiens, GRD’16, to her life’s work. Almost a decade ago, while working a high-stress consulting job, earning her doctorate from Penn GSE’s Chief Learning Officer (CLO) program, and juggling her responsibilities as a mom to three young children, she had a hypertensive emergency during a routine check-up. While she was tapping away at her phone, still conducting work from inside her doctor’s office, a nurse was checking and rechecking her blood pressure, not believing the numbers she was seeing in a seemingly healthy young woman.
![portrait image of Kandi Wiens standing in front of an out of focus, busy Pennsylvania street, she wears a serious and determined expression with her right hand in a pocket of her lime green gold buttoned blouse](https://publications.gse.upenn.edu/assets/2024/06/upenn_gse_spr24-protecting_against-feature.webp)

“I could have had a stroke. I could have had a heart attack,” said Wiens. “I could have died right then and there.”
Instead, she had a wake-up call. Stress was literally killing her, and she needed to find a way to manage it better. In the week that followed, during her doctor-mandated rest, one of the things she pondered was why the stress had impacted her so profoundly. Many of her Penn GSE classmates were also busy working parents with high-stress jobs, but their blood pressure readings hadn’t made medical professionals do a double take. What were they doing differently? She decided to make that question the heart of her doctoral dissertation, exploring stress and burnout.
Alumni Notes

6 Tips
for Explaining War to Children
n an ever-changing world, parents and educators are too often faced with explaining complex and challenging events to children. And perhaps nothing is more difficult to explain than violence, particularly war and armed conflict.
![drawing by Mira age 9 of a man helping a woman](https://publications.gse.upenn.edu/assets/2024/06/upenn-gse-summerspring-24-6ways-img1.jpg)
An expert in child and adolescent development who has been instrumental in developing and overseeing school-based mental health programs, Richardson explains that adults must help bridge the gap, offering support and understanding as school-age children navigate and process world events in a healthy and constructive way.
“When it comes to issues like [war], sometimes we can find it hard to connect the dots between a child’s behavior and the events unfolding in the world around them,” she said. “This is about being in tune with and understanding, developmentally, the ways in which these stressful situations might manifest for children.”
